I believe there are files in each directory containing at least abbreviated
information on each file. However, if you want full up-to-date information,
you can do this:
Turn on your terminal program's CAPTURE mode and give it a file name.
Go into the library in which you are interested.
Type DIR/DES. This asks for a DIRectory of all files including a DEScription
of each.
Go get a cup of coffee, because this could take a while.
If you are interested in other libraries as well, loop back to the second step.
When you're finished, close your capture file, log off, and exit your terminal
program.
You now have a plain ASCII file which you can pull into any text editor and
peruse at your leisure. Don't forget you can use your editor's SEARCH function
to find any reference that interests you.
Have fun!
Almost-a-PS: Another way to do this is with Whap!, which automates the entire
procedure. Yell if you're interested, and others will fill you in.
